Green Lentils: Traditional Flavor and Invaluable Nutritional Value
Green lentils are the main ingredient in Mujaddara, or as it is known in some parts of the Levant as „Mdardara.“ This ancient dish has historical roots going back centuries in Arab cuisine and is famous for its simple composition, combining green lentils with rice or bulgur. Despite variations in side ingredients, green lentils remain the essential element that gives the dish its unique taste and nutritional value.
Rich in Protein and Fiber… Perfect for Plant-Based Diets
Green lentils are rich in plant-based protein, providing up to 24 grams per 100 grams, making them an excellent choice for vegetarians and anyone seeking a healthy alternative to animal protein. They also contain 19 grams of dietary fiber, which aids digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness. The fat content is very low (only 1.5 grams) and contains no saturated fat, supporting heart health. Additionally, they contain no added salt or sugars, with a moderate energy value of approximately 327 calories.
Versatile Uses for Green Lentils
Beyond Mujaddara, green lentils can be used in soups, adding rich flavor and a distinctive texture. They are also used in warm salads combining lentils and vegetables, or in various other recipes that require a high-quality plant-based protein source. Their ease of cooking and quick preparation make them a practical choice for daily meals, with the possibility to combine them with different ingredients to suit a variety of tastes.
